The Importance of Understanding the Mind-Body Connection With Dr. Bal Pawa   Tune in to this powerful interview with Dr. Bal Pawa, a Physician, Pharmacist, TEDx Speaker and Author of the Mind-Body Cure Book.    Her insights highlight the importance of the mind-body connection and taking control of our health with practical advice. Join us as we uncover her own journey to healing that started with a tragic head-on collision that placed her in the hospital she worked in hours earlier but this time as a patient.  Being at the mercy of doctors and feeling vulnerable not only from the emotional grief of losing her baby but also from physical pain, she started her 7-year journey of healing.  Dealing with broken bones, collapsed lungs and relying on surgeons, neurologists, specialists, she was being attended to by the best yet she was not healing. What became apparent as missing in the medical system is a lack of  "patient involvement", the conversations about how much our mindset influences our healing.  Expanding on this, she left for Harvard Medical School to learn how to do counselling for mind-body.  The doctor there took a personal interest in her case as his research was based on the autonomic nervous system. Through this process and discovering her premise for her book, she learned to heal herself and returned to Vancouver to change the system of patient care.  Finding like-minded physicians, she opened an integrative clinic transforming the lives of thousands of people using the principles of mind-body medicine.  Her experience completely reframed the way she looks at the world, becoming more grateful and empowering not only herself but her patient in advocating for their health.  Our discussion sheds light on science-backed suggestions on how how to improve digestion, sleep, chronic stress and anxiety by following her REFRAME tool kit.   Learn more about Dr. Bal Pawa here: Website: https://drbalpawa.com/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbalpawa Twitter:  https://mobile.twitter.com/balpawa Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/DrBalPawa/ Instagram: @Dr.Bal Pawa   TEDx: https://youtu.be/qq0DBeFdDlM ——————————————————————   Extra resources for parents and kids:  💻 ONLINE SCHOOL → https://www.innerchampion.me/    🌐 WEBSITE → https://freewithin.me/   🎙 PODCAST → https://anchor.fm/freewithin   ——————————————————————  Follow me on social media!   Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/freewithin/?hl=en   Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/PureAtma   Pinterest → https://www.pinterest.ca/ranbirpuar/   Twitter → https://twitter.com/ranbirpuar ——————————————————————
